The New Virtual Organization World
It's a New Principled and Civilized World, It's Virtual and It's Organized
The Cisco Acquisition of Splunk ::: A Game Changer for Enterprises Worldwide and the Virtual Organization World
By Pierre Coupet
Back then, I was so optimistic about this World of Virtual Organizations that I have been predicting since the founding of the Virtual Organization Management discipline that I have pioneered since 1997. I thought for sure that these Web Technology Geniuses and Overlords would eventually build a Global Platform for Virtual Organizations which would herald the beginning of this World of Virtual Organizations I call "The New Virtual Organization World."
For me, this was a no-brainer. I thought for sure that it would only take about a decade or less for all these so-called brilliant minds out there to understand the significance of this discipline and begin to take advantage of it. Naively, I truly believed that they had both the "Intellectual Capacity" and "Intellectual Maturity" to understand what's at stake so that they could marshal all available resources at their disposal in order to make this Giant Leap Forward in terms of how they both Organize and Do Business on the web.
Well, since 2008,
- I have seen Windows Live, first launched in 2005, flop like a busted balloon, only to reinvent itself as Microsoft 365 in 2013.
- I have witnessed Google Apps, first launched in 2006, turn into a villain and ravenous monster devoid of ethics. All the people who helped build the platform and were given free licenses saw their free licenses stripped away from them like a thief in the night. People who had amassed thousands of seats over the years were told to pay up for each seat or lose them. The excuse given was that the free seats applied to Google Apps and NOT the renamed Google Workspace version. These people with free seats who helped build the platform were no longer needed and now it was time for Google to make some money and get rid of the "freeloaders."
- I have witnessed Google+, launched in 2011 with much fanfare, turn into a Real Shit Show run by the most incompetent people one could possibly imagine.
- I have witnessed WebEx, founded in 1995, acquire Intranets.com in 2005 (which we were then using) and morph into WebEx by Cisco in 2007, which eventually resulted into the current Cisco WebEx platform in 2018.
- Moreover, I have witnessed the launch of over a dozen other platforms which showed promise as a potential Virtual Organization Platform, all to no avail.
In my haste and excitement at the prospect that this acquisition could be a game changer for all enterprises worldwide, I grievously erred in making such claim. Why is that, you might ask?
That's because it dawned on me right after I wrote the title of this article that I had indeed contacted the leadership of Cisco WebEx back in October of 2019 and informed them that Cisco WebEx had many of the ingredients needed in order to become a Virtual Organization Platform for ALL ENTERPRISES and small-to-medium businesses and organizations, and invited them to COLLABORATE with Virtual Organization Management Institute, the world's leading and only Virtual Organization Management Institute and Virtual Organization Leadership Training Provider in order to make that a fait accompli.
A marriage made in heaven, so to speak, and A NO-BRAINER proposition. At least, that's what I thought then.
Well, how wrong I was in 2019. And how wrong I could possibly be now. After all, what could have possibly changed during the last five (5) years. Although the executive who was in charge then of the Collaboration platform is no longer at the company, what makes me think that this person's replacement has the Intellectual Capacity and Intellectual Maturity to understand what the Cisco acquisition of Splunk means and why it's such a game changer for ALL organizations worldwide who have been looking for a home which is specifically designed to accommodate the needs of VIRTUAL ORGANIZATIONS.
The Real Questions Now Are
- How many Bona Fide Virtual Organizations are there in the world.
- How big is the potential market for Bona Fide Virtual Organizations
- What the hell is a Bona Fide Virtual Organization.
- Is Chuck H. Robbins aware of the implications of this acquisition with respect to the opportunities that it presents as the World's Only De Facto Virtual Organization Platform for ALL virtual organizations worldwide.
- Does Chuck Robbins know anything at all about Virtual Organizations and what the hell that means.
- Is Chuck Robbins willing to take the time to find out "What is a Bona Fide Virtual Organization and what makes them so special."
- Is there anyone at all on the entire Cisco Executive Leadership Team who knows or has a clue as to what the hell I am talking about.
- Proceed directly to Perplexity.ai and ask the following questions:
- Who is the founder of the virtual organization management discipline.
- Who is the architect of the Human Evolution 2-22-2222 Initiative
- Then proceed to Virtual Organization Advisors in order to obtain a deep insight into virtual organizations.
